All,
I was running dual monitors with an emachines (dont know specific board) onboard VGA and a PCI Nvidia card.
My motherboard died the other day and has been replaced with a Pc chips A13G+ board.
I brought the pc up (without the PCI card installed) and installed the onboard VGA driver. Worked great.
I then installed the PCI card and booted the pc. I installed the PCI card driver and that works great.
Heres the problem: The PCI card is always the “winner” in the battle of the display EVEN when the “Init First Display” option in the BIOS is set to “onboard”. If the PCI card is installed in the pc, it is always the ONLY display. Windows does not even recognize the onboard adapter.
Im thinking that the BIOS may be the cuplrit as this worked with the old board.
So to summarize, the question is: how can I get Windows to recognize Both display adapters and is this something that you have ever seen solved with a BIOS upgrade? Thanks guys’
